However, I'm having trouble parsing the playlist in QMediaPlaylist::load. I see in GammaRay that the loadFailed() signal fires. I also see that a QPlaylistFileParser object fires the same loadFailed signal with an ParserError as a QString argument. How do I access this ParserError? QPlaylistFileParser has no officially documented interface

Thanks @jsulm , printing the ErrorString provides a clue: I get an empty file error. Hmmm... Something seems to go wrong when retrieving the playlist from the remote server. Using curl with the provided URL does work, so that's not the problem. I'll try to dig deeper...
